With the second-highest run in the series, Suryakumar (107 runs at a strike rate of 194.54) was adjudged the player of the series and also the player of the match in the third T20. India had won the first two T20s by six wickets and eight runs respectively.
“Surya is a world-class player. I had the opportunity to play at Mumbai Indians with him since he first came in in 2011. Great to see he has grown a lot since then. He is doing great things for himself and India as a 360-degree player. All batters can take a page out of his book,” Pollard said at the post-match presentation on Sunday.
West Indies might have been handed a 0-3 clean sweep in T20 series against India but Pollard said his team shouldn’t feel disgraced as the scoreline is not an indication of the fight put up by them during the three-match rubber against India.
Suryakumar Yadav came up with an explosive 65 and was backed up by a spirited bowling effort by the seamers as West Indies fell short in their chase of 185. “Yes we lost 3-0 but the guys put their hands up and gave a good account of themselves. I don't think we should be disgraced by what has taken place,” Pollard said.
“We are not happy losing, let me put that on record. It라이브 바카라 not like that at all. We are trying to win cricket games.” West Indies had their best chance to level the series in the second T20I with Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran slamming explosive fifties in a 100-run partnership.
But India fought back with Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling a tight penultimate over as West Indies fell short by just eight runs. “It just goes to show the fine line in International cricket between winning and losing, and the margins for error -- when you are bowling or batting,” Pollard said.
The biggest positive for the West Indies has been the return to form of wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran who slammed three half-centuries on the trot to be the top-run getter of the series with 184 runs at an average of 61.33.
“I thought it was a good series. The guys put their hands up and gave a good account of themselves. We are a work in progress and will get some time to think about things,” Pollard said.
“Nicholas was outstanding. He had the consistency we had asked for. I don't want to take up the word consistency and take the word responsibility and make it sound like he has to do the job. At the end of the day, he's a young player and we want him to be consistent.
“He's still learning his craft but he has what it takes to be a force to be reckoned with as a batter and as a leader in International cricket,” added the skipper.
The skipper hailed offspinner Roston Chase, who came as a forced change for an injured Jason Holder and finished the series as the top wicket-taker with six scalps ahead of Harshal Patel (five wickets).
“Chase played well for the team. He came in and showed what he can do. Even Sheldon Cottrell bowled very decently in the first two games. All in all, all the guys put up their hands,” he said. “Fabian Allen came back today. You have to give the guys exposure as well. You may never gonna get it right but you have to try different things to see what the guys have to offer.
“We are not chopping and changing for the sake of it. The guys come in, play their roles and then you go back and check if you played your role as an individual. That's about it as a team. We have to give guys opportunities and we have to win as well,” he said.
